In Topic: Ebay Shipping Question

Posted 18 Nov 2011

eBay now charges final value seller fees on the shipping charges. So a item that sells for a $1 plus $10 shipping will have the same final value fees that a item that sells for $10 plus $1 shipping would have. eBay says they do this to prevent sellers from profiting from over charging for shipping. I see it as way for eBay to make sure they get their cut. So, if you charge actual shipping charges, you'll lose about 10% on it.

...I'm not sayin these people are getting what they are asking BUT it just amazes me how as the economy continues to plummit, the asking price of old BMX stuff is going up not down. Just simply stunning.

I know that a lot of people are still in trouble, out of work, etc... but as a whole economy, the worst is behind us.

I know this article is an opinion, but it raises some interesting points... http://www.americanc...les/view/134833

Owl,
I read the article and have no reason to dispute what it states as I agree with it. However, for whatever reasons, right or wrong, the outlook looks brighter now than a year ago. My 401K was 50% up for 2009. ...Yes I know that it was down 50% the year before, so we are not back to where we were a couple of years ago, but still... Things are moving in the right direction.

In Topic: Flick Trix (old school)

Posted 5 Jan 2010

My son just bought a the yellow CW Phaze 1. Pretty cool, but from my son's point of view, not as fun as the fingerboards. My son browses youtube for tech deck videos, which there are hundreds, and then looked for the flick trix, only to find a couple. Not really designed well to do tricks with your fingers.

serial number would indicate 1984. Can't answer the other parts of your question.
